Personal Reaction:
I really liked this book. I picked it because my father is from Ohio and there was a lot of information in this book that even I didn't know but was written in a way that wouldn't be hard for a child to understand.

Classroom Extension:
1. I would use this to teach my students some basic facts about Ohio.
2. I could use this book to introduce children to the state and begin a pen pal transfer between a school in this state and that way my students would have things to discuss about the state the student they write to are from.
3. I would provide this as a resource for a report on the state.
4. I would have my students draw a map of the state and put 5-10 of their favorite facts about this state to share with the class as a fun way to learn the facts. ( )
